Any updates on the remote Menu button

I haven't seen anything lately on the issue of using the remote's "Menu" button to access play lists etc when the video ipod is hooked up to a TV via the doc and an AV cable. Are there any updates on this? I am getting kind of tired of having to walk over to the TV to change playlists, etc. etc.

Well, I am taking about something a little different. Your link refers to what you see on your TV screen. I can get by without mirroring, its the remote i want to work better.
When the 'iPod Dock with Remote' originally came out, a lot of us assumed that the "menu" button would work the same way as the "menu" button on the ipod itself, i.e. it would take you back one level. We also assumed that the volume keys would let you scroll up and down through items in a menu (not as elegant as the scroll wheel, but workable). And that the RWD and FWD buttons would work as they do on the ipod. All of this taken together would give you full operation of your ipod without having to touch it. Adding screen mirroring would be the icing on the cake for the dedicated couch potato.
Unfortunately, the menu button is disabled on the remote when it comes to controlling an ipod... it only works for front row on a mac.
Anyway, a lot of us were hoping this could get resolved through some kind of firmware upgrade to the ipod itself.

  • Remotes "Menu Button" Override

    I've created a wedding dvd. The menus use the loop point feature where the first 3 seconds is the transition from the previous menu. If the "Menu Button" is set to "Return to Last Menu", the transition is revealed when returning from the timeline. Not acceptable. So I then created static versions of the menus. A wedding chapter menu, and 2 reception chapter menus. Unfortunately, Last menu won't work since I didn't actually come from the static versions. I would need to actually tell the remotes "Menu Button" to go to 1 of those menus. If I set it to the "Wedding Chapters" menu but entered the timeline from a reception menu, the effect is wrong. I could make the transitions as seperate timelines, but I don't like the pauses associated with them. If a menu button override was available at the menu button level, it would work. If I press a wedding chapter button, it would set the remotes "Menu Button" to return to the wedding static menu. Same for the receptions menu buttons. The loop point feature seems to give me a smoother looking playback versus the timeline transition, which has 2 pauses, 1 into the timeline (transition), and 1 into the next menu. I really like Encore, which is the first solution I've worked with that did overrides. Very handy!! Please add the override feature to the remotes menu button.

    Let the battery run down, that is what i did when this happened to mine. When it has run down fully recharge it and it should work!
    Hope That Helps!

  • How can I get the remote control button to appear in itunes?

    I cant seem to locate the remote control button that is supposed to appear in iTunes. I do not have any remote controls associated with my iTunes yet the button is not appearing. Help.

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save Link as".
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    THAT's the Flash Player.
    Shockwave Player 12
    THAT's the Shockwave plugin.
    BOTH should be up to date.

  • I cannot open pages on my MacBookPro. I get a message to update it. In my software update in the apple menu drop down, it shows no updates at this time. I have iWork '09.

    I cannot open pages on my MacBookPro. I get a message to update it. In my software update in the apple menu drop down, it shows no updates at this time. I have iWork '09.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs, including files that refuse rto open:

  • Is it ever ok to entirely disable the remote Title button?

    I am considering disabling the remote Title button in all menus, tracks, and stories in a DVD that has a main menu and one chapter menu. Doing so seems to solve all the navigation problems I was having due to the inconsistent behavior of DVD players, but I wonder whether viewers would find it weird that whenever they press the Title button they encountered the message "Operation prohibited by disk at this time" or the red-circle-with-a-slash symbol: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/SlashCircle.svg/120px-S lashCircle.svg.png
    What do you think? Is it ok to entirely disable the remote Title button?
    Thanks,
    John Link
    P.S. Here is a full description of the DVD structure:
    Main menu with four buttons:
    1) Play track 1 (Preview)
    2) Play track 2 with audio stream 1 (Full movie with regular soundtrack)
    3) Play story in track 2 with audio stream 2 (Full movie with director's commentary soundtrack)
    4) Go to chapter menu
    Chapter menu with a button for each chapter in track 2 and a button to return to the main menu
    Disable remote Title button in both menus, both tracks, and the story
    Set remote Return button in main menu to go to chapter menu
    Set remote Return button in chapter menu to go to main menu

    ll, personally I wouldn't find it weird. I never use the title button on my DVD player remote control anyway. Don't even know what it does, TBH!
    I wonder whether you would change your opinion if you were to find out what the remote Title button does.

  • I just installed Lightroom 5. It will not open. I have clicked on the desktop icon as well as the start menu button with no results. What am I missing?

    I just installed Lightroom 5. It will not open. I have clicked on the desktop icon as well as the start menu button with no results. What am I missing?

    I had the same problem, and I believe it is caused by having the Creative Cloud application doing the updating of LR.  I "fixed" the problem by:
    1. Uninstall Lightroom
    2. Download the stand-alone LR 5.6 installer from Product updates
    3. Install LR 5.6 using the stand-alone installer, instead of using the Creative Cloud application.

  • I have an iphone4, it will not respond when I press the round menu button at the bottom.  I have tried powering it down and turning it back on but does not help.

    I have an iphone4,  the round menu button on the bottom is not responding.   If I power it all the way off, it comes to the main menu once, whatever function I use text or email it is stuck there.  I cannot get the menu option back.  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    sounds like you're having a hardware malfunction.  You can try restoring your phone first from backup, then as new, but if these don't help, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple.

  • The home/menu button has stopped working on my E52...

    The home/menu button has stopped working on my E52. Is there a way I can retreive the info on my phone and put it on the memory card or a pc?

    Hi EmmaBarham,
    Welcome to Nokia Discussions.
    Please connect your phone to Nokia Suite, once connected you'll be able to sync your phone's data to your PC.
    When you're done syncing the data, I would also advice making a back up via Tools>Back up. This way you can get your phone repaired and simply restore it back onto the phone via Tools > Restore in Nokia Suite once the phone has been fixed.
    You can find your nearest Nokia Care Point here. Let me know how you get on!

  • Where is the Show menu button that is supposed to be at the bottom of the window

    where i sthe Show menu button that is supposed to be at the bottom of the iTunes window that will allow me to move music from one computer library  to another?

    Thank you but I have now solved my problem.
    I was trying to move music files from one iTunes library on one computer to the iTunes library on another computer.
    The instructions on the Apple site tell you to open sharing on both libraries and then use the Show menu button at the bottom of the window to select 'items not in my library'
    What they don't tell you is that the button is on a hidden toolbar that will only appear if both libraries are logged in to the same account with the same ID and passward in Home Sharing which is in the Advanced drop down menu.
    I had Home Sharing switched on in my Preferences but was not using identical IDs & passwords.
    As the toolbar with the Show menu botton was hidden I could not see it until I worked out that both computers needed an identical log-in. With that done after various trial and error efforts I found the button and was able to move the files.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How can I change the icon for the bookmarks menu button

    Using linux, the default icon for the bookmarks menu button is quite ugly. Is there a way to change the icon for the button with some code in userChrome.css ?

    After several intents, I found a solution.
    This is my userChrome.css file:
    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
    toolbarbutton[class="toolbarbutton-1"]#bookmarks-menu-button image[class="toolbarbutton-icon"] {
    list-style-image: url("bookmark_gray.png") !important;
    -moz-image-region: rect(0px, 0px, 0px, 24px) !important;}
    Probably it's messy but works.

  • Preventing the notification of any updates to the apps by Microsoft Store

    Hi
    With Windows 8.1 Update, how do I prevent all users
    that the notification of any updates to the apps
    by Microsoft Store will never be displayed?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can trun off the notification by GP
    Run gpedit.msc to launch the group policy editor, then locate to
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Store, in the right pane, find and enable`turn off the offer to update to the latest version of windows'
    run gpupadte /force to update the policy.
    You can also turn off "automatically update your apps", open Windows Store, the move the mouse to right pane, on the charm bar, click "Settings"\"Add updates", then  turn off "Automatically update my apps".
    Yolanda Zhu
    TechNet Community Support
    A doubt: If you enable the "turn off the offer to update to the latest version of windows"
    policy, I just disabled
    the notification of the updates of the "Microsoft
    Store" app and not the update notifications
    of the various apps, as I would like.
    Right?
    Thanks
    Bye

    Hi gnaksung, 
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It seems like you're trying to update iTunes 10 on your Mac, but the update options are not working. 
    You may find the troubleshooting tips and download method in this article helpful with updating iTunes:

    If you're currently using OS X 10.6.8, see this link for the iTunes 11.4 download, which is the latest version that can be installed:

  • Hello, I am running a Mac book pro soft. 10.5.8 version. Since june the current year I did not get any updates for the software or any kinds of other application, in my opinion that's weird for such a company.

    Hello, I am running a Mac book pro soft. 10.5.8 version. Since June the current year I did not get any updates for the software or any kinds of the other application, in my opinion that's weird for such a company.
    The problem that I have now is with the Iphone 5 which is not supported for the current Itunes and I can not download the Itunes 10.7 version. What I supposed to do in this case because I can not syncronize at all.
    Please give me a hand as soon as possible.
    Many thanks

    Mac OS X 10.5.8 is years old, 3 major versions out-of-date and unsupported at this point. You will never get any further updates for 10.5.8, and more and more applications will stop supporting 10.5.8 as time goes on. As mende1 points out, you can buy Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), which will let you use your new iPhone with your computer, but you need to make sure your computer's hardware is supported. See the system requirements for Snow Leopard:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If your computer cannot run Snow Leopard, you will need to either buy a new computer or abandon any thoughts of syncing the iPhone with that computer.
    Also, note that you'll get far better integration of your iPhone and your Mac if you're using Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) or Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8), which are required to use iCloud. Of course, the requirements of those systems are even steeper than those of Snow Leopard:
